Wuzhiqi's Endgame (3/3)
"You're really generous, lending out even that kind of divine artifact."
As the Wind of the Netherworld swept across the entire Guifang Kingdom, the Rain Master appeared silently beside Li Boyang and Xiluo without them even realizing it.
To be honest, Rain Master admits he was jealous.
That [Taiji Diagram] is an even more powerful artifact than the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land].
Especially its unique ability to balance yin and yang, even the Heaven-Eroding Lord would covet it.
Unexpectedly, Li Boyang actually used it on the Roaring Heaven Clan.
Moreover, it seems that Li Boyang has no intention of retrieving the [Taiji Diagram] for quite some time to come.
"Aren't Law Treasure created specifically for use?"
"I'm not like some guy with a collecting obsession who always likes to hide away good things."
As he said this, Li Boyang gave Xiluo a meaningful, warning look.
Unsurprisingly, his complaints resulted in several scratches on his face.
Who likes to hide good stuff?
Haven't you taken enough treasures from me?
Ignoring Li Boyang's resentful expression, Xiluo first licked her paws before turning her gaze to Rain Master.
"And you, when did you get in touch with this doll?"
"You all secretly caused such a commotion without telling me, is there something else you're hiding from me?"
Watching Li Boyang and Xiluo's interaction with a smile, Rain Master simply shook his head noncommittally.
"This is the limit that my old bones can achieve."
I won't get involved in what happens next.
"I still plan to keep this body and travel to other parts of the world!"
After speaking, the Rain Master deliberately looked up at the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] in the sky.
Within that [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land], the battle between Heaven-Eroding Lord and Wuzhiqi continues, and it shows a strong tendency to spread to the outside world. "Since that's the case, then I won't force it."
"This is the agreed-upon compensation," which should satisfy you.
Since Rain Master had already said all that, Li Boyang naturally snapped his fingers.
The next moment, a Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect emerged from beneath his feet and handed a brand-new book to the Rain Master.
"On the relationship between dynamic equilibrium and natural Clouds and Rain?"
Slightly surprised, Rain Master took the book and read out the words carefully.
This is more suitable for you than the "Perception Method".
"I hope that when I see you again, you will have become a true Heavenly Deity."
"No, it should be called 'Celestial Person '."
Li Boyang snapped his fingers again, and the Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.
"As for the ' Perception Method ' that I promised you beforehand?"
"I've included it on the last few pages of this book, but I personally don't recommend that you follow my method of practice exactly."
"Only what suits you best is truly the best, and you clearly have the time and energy to slowly explore the path that belongs only to you."
After a brief moment of surprise, the Rain Master laughed again.
"It is my honor to receive such high praise from Celestial Person!"
After saying this, Rain Master slowly turned around and looked at Kunyu beside him, asking a question.
"Old friend, are you planning to wander with me now, or stay here in these Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"
Faced with the Rain Master's question, Kunyu did not hesitate for even a moment.
I choose to stay here.
"I'm not like you, old man. I have absolutely no interest in the outside world."
There was no much small talk, nor did they linger for long.
The Rain Master didn't even look up at the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] one last time before turning into rain and disappearing from everyone's sight.
"You two ran away so fast, are there really no other shady dealings going on between you?"
He stared at Li Boyang with suspicion for a long time.
Xiluo ultimately gave up on the idea of continuing to investigate.
In any case, if Li Boyang didn't want to say something, Xiluo felt that even if she racked her brains, she definitely wouldn't be able to guess it at all.
On this one point alone, Xiluo had absolute confidence.
"Speaking of which, what are your plans for dealing with this thing now?"
Jumping directly off Li Boyang's shoulder, Xiluo circled the skeleton on the ground a few times before asking softly.
This skeleton is that of Xuan after the sacrifice.
Or more precisely, this skeleton is the only remaining proof of Xuan in this world.
Flesh and blood, soul, and even thought and will were sacrificed to the Roaring Heaven Clan.
In the end, all that remained of Xuanpa was this skeleton, as clear and translucent as crystal.
"If you don't mind, this skeleton is actually quite a valuable collectible."
Slowly crouching down, Li Boyang didn't treat Tao lightly, but rather stroked the skeleton with a slightly solemn air.
As Li Boyang said, even setting aside all commemorative value...
This skeleton is indeed a treasure.
It briefly bore witness to the arrival of the Roaring Heaven Clan, and then received the blessing and protection of Kunyu.
Aside from its original defects, every Root Bone in this skeleton was stronger than metal.
Most importantly, the skeleton is crystal clear and authentically simple, clearly possessing other untapped potential uses.
"..."
Instead of answering Li Boyang immediately, Xiluo simply looked at the skeleton with a complicated expression.
"No, collecting skeletons is the thing I hate most in this life. You should keep this for yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
After all, according to the Heaven-Eroding Lord, the remains of the Witch of the Huai River are now in Xiluo's hands.
"Well, we only have one last objective left."
Slightly embarrassed, he waved his sleeve, and the skeleton automatically sank into Li Boyang's shadow.
"Kunyu, do you want to see Wuzhiqi's final fate?"
It must be admitted that Li Boyang's attempt to change the subject was clumsy, and even Kunyu felt embarrassed for him.
Fortunately, although Kunyu is a bit straightforward and stubborn, he still has basic emotional intelligence.
"Good!"
With just a single word, the slightly silent atmosphere between Li Boyang and Xiluo was successfully broken.
The enormous totem pole shrank in response, quickly transforming into the shape of a long stick.
"I would be even happier if I could also give Heaven-Eroding Lord a tap on the head."
Unabashedly eager to try, Kunyu's words successfully amused Xiluo.
"Haha, that won't do. He's temporarily our ally."
Seeing that Xiluo was smiling, Li Boyang readily accepted the iron rod and laughed.
"But I reckon it won't be your turn to play." Wuzhiqi will ultimately pay the price for his arrogance.
